‘Depressed’ woman jumps off Bangkok MRT station
A woman fell to her death from the elevated Tha Phra MRT Station in Bangkok Yai district at 9am on Friday (April 24).
Police and rescue volunteers arrived at the scene to find the body of an unnamed 43-year-old woman with a traumatic head injury lying in a pool of blood on the pavement below the station. None of her belongings was missing from the body.
Witnesses on the station said they saw the woman displaying strange behaviour before she walked to the edge of the station and jumped.

The body was sent for autopsy.
